If Hudson wins the rotation spot, wonder if that means the Cardinals will trade Gant. I like Gant quite a bit, and think he’s a good back end starter or solid reliever, but if he’s in the bullpen that might push out someone like Mayers or maybe even Reyes? Either way, could see signs pointing to a trade before the end of spring training. That’s just a thought.

I think Gant will stick in the bullpen. Reyes should probably start in the Memphis rotation and be in the St. Louis rotation later this season when the inevitable injury/ineffectiveness/impotent issue happens with one or more of the starters. Cecil should be sent to Memphis and the Cardinals can pray someone would grab him off waivers. Or just rocketed toward Alpha Centauri.
